Galatasaray right-back Emmanuel Eboue hinted that he wants to return to Arsenal in the future.

"I am still an Arsenal fan, I will return one day and playing in the Premier League again would be very enjoyable," Eboue said following Galatasaray's pre-season friendly against Notts County.

"I feel Wenger will win silverware this season, he is a great manager and has a strong team however, I think he needs to strengthen his side a bit more with a few more signings."

Eboue played a key role in the Lions lifting the 2011-12 Turkish Süper Lig title and helped win a record 19th league title last season. Eboue also featured regulalry in Galatasaray's Champions League campaign - the Lions reached the quarter-finals.

The former Arsenal fullback has scored four times and provided eight assists in 71 appearances since joining Galatasaray.
